Medical Terminology / Unit 15 MedTerm 0975 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Error-Prone Abbreviation List
Captions available
The idea
An error-prone abbreviation list is a published, longer set of forms known to be misread, extending beyond any required list.
In practice
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices publishes such a list and marks which entries also appear on required lists.
Where people slip
Required lists are short and enforced. Error-prone lists are longer and advisory.
